Overview

The Indiana Charter School Board's vision is that students throughout Indiana have access to high-performing public schools. The Indiana Charter School Board ("ICSB"), a statewide charter school authorizer, was created by the Indiana Legislature in May 2011 to provide families with high-quality educational options for their children through the charter schools it authorizes. These charter schools, which are tuition-free public schools, are open to all students who choose to enroll. Every charter school is overseen by a governing board that is responsible for ensuring the school's success, and operates under a five-year contract, referred to as the "charter." Once each year, the ICSB will evaluate the performance of each school it authorizes to ensure the school is providing a high-quality public school option for enrolled students. The report will be shared with the school’s leadership and the general public.
